DESCRIPTION: Scarce, unrecorded 1920's blue-line oilfield map of Borden County, Texas from the early Texas oil boom that started with the Spindletop discovery near Beaumont, Texas in 1901. This antique thematic map shows land owners and locations for petroleum exploration in Borden County. Manuscript outlining of tracts and pencil notations of lessee names.
Scale 4.5" = 5 miles.
A legend at upper right explains the types of oil exploration sites as:
- Location
- Rig Up
- Drilling
- Producing
- Gas
- Abandoned
- Dry Hole
Map was printed on heavy paper by the Standard Blueprint Map and Engineering Company 515 Main Street, Fort Worth Texas. Does not show the Shreveport office address, as on other maps therefore presumed a bit earlier than 1925.
